Tim Bell shares how to find real-estate deals through portable storage containers and storage facilities. Talk to people using driveway pods, contact local franchisees for referrals, and build relationships with storage managers who know clients moving. Finding, analyzing, and making offers are the three core activities that matter most.
And then finally, we've got pods or other storage facilities. There are lots of different companies now who will put one of these containers in your driveway? And the question begs itself, why do people in many cases have one of these pods, containers placed in their driveway? And the reason is because they're moving or they want to move and they're storing up their stuff to move. Well, they. That could be an opportunity for you. If you see one of these, pull over and stop, talk to the people. Also, you might want to contact the local franchisee of one of these pods or other types of storage containers that are portable and talk with them about people who are moving. Okay, that can be great. On the other side here, we can see storage units. Now, if you can find the manager or the operator, the owner of a storage unit, the person that's behind the counter there at the storage unit that talks with the clients and the customers all day long, that person can be a goldmine in helping you find people who are in transition. A lot of times when people are moving, they're coming, they're going, they're going from an apartment to a house or a house to an apartment, different things like that. People that are in transition often use storage facilities. And if you have a gregarious, talkative person behind the counter at that storage facility, they will often know about people that are in transition, and they may be able to introduce you or tell you at least how to get in contact with those people and help you find them. So that's the 50 ways to find properties. Again, it's important that you put a bunch of these in play and start looking for properties right now, because finding properties, analyzing properties, and making offers are the three most important things you're ever going to do in your real estate investment business.
